Interesting that people are making a big deal about computers being hacked when you arrive in Sochi when the NSA has all Americans hacked at all times. Is that a double standard or just blind ignorance?

Does Richard Engel realize this? Or are Russian hackers icky while NSA hackers are sanitary?

Hack: to gain access to a computer illegally.

Just so the authoritarian apologists and the dirty terrorists are on the same page.

1. lol, I have noticed the same thing

I'm loving all the hypocrisy, people are disturbed that Russians are spying on them, but when it comes to the good old USA, these same people give it a shrug. USA! USA! USA! Spying is only bad when other countries do it!

2. Richard Engel knows about the NSA.

He is focusing on the Olympics and not trying to start a debate about both countries.
